Granted the permission but still not capturing app crash event. Also, adb command should be accessible through settings to make it easy to figure out once the window displaying it is closed. Update: got it to work after completely closing and reopening the app (restarting didn't work). Shouldn't have to do that, or should at least tell you to do it if needed. Also, should be able to search then copy all entries or save them to a separate file, to make it easier to get just the ones you need.

Unfortunately the app cannot filter a period by time. This is crucial for me, since I'm debugging crashes, and I don't know what causes them but I do know when they happened. I have to scroll through thousands of logs before I get to the time which was a minute ago.

Works great. Just note, the command you need to write is all one line. obvious when you think about it but i brain farted. Helps me figure out programs that are installed and doing rogue things like auto adjusting my volume everytime i unlock my phone! (webex). this tool isnt just for developers!

Impossible to use. Search instead of searching does filtering, and after clearing the search string the current found position of interest is reset. Please let me find the position and be able to examine the surrounding entries!:(

I by-mistakely deleted a key-module in my device.. And landed with many problems on my device.With the perfect filters and beautiful ui of this app.. i was able to identify that which module exactly it was. Then i downloaded it from web.. and everything got fixed.. Loved it♡♡♡♡

Definitely one of the best logcat apps on Android, it doesn't require root, instead, you grant access with an ADB shell command. Decent UI, good filtering features, dark theme, it has everything I expected.

Works without root but had to restart twice. UI could be more usable. e.g. long clicking an event automatically adds its PID/TID/log lebel into filters or possibility to disable to filter to avoid the need to recreate them.

Very useful and convenient program. I am missing only one little thing: START_RECORDING_EXTRA in order to start the recording automatically at application launch. Would you kindly add? Thanks.
